Stevens was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault in 2000 after an eyewitness saw him having sex with a University of Washington freshman against the side of a fraternity house. Witnesses claimed that the woman exhibited symptoms of a date-rape drug, but blood tests were conducted too late to be conclusive, and Stevens was not charged because prosecutors couldn't prove that there wasn't consent.

The woman left UW and says she suffered from depression after the incident.

The Seattle Times detailed the rest of Stevens' legal issues in the article. Here's the rundown:

In 1998, Stevens was charged with felony assault while he was in high school for getting in a prearranged fight and stomping on the victims' head while he was unconscious on the ground. He agreed to a plea deal for misdemeanor assault, but tested positive for marijuana during his house arrest.

In 2000, Stevens sideswiped a car on a highway and left the scene. He was only fined $119.

In 2001, Stevens was sentenced to 90 days in jail for crashing his car into the side of a nursing home and fleeing the scene.

In 2003, Stevens was caught with two open bottles of champagne in his car. His blood-alcohol level was twice the legal limit and he was sentenced to seven days in jail for reckless driving.

In 2004, Stevens settled a civil suit brought by the accuser of the alleged 2000 sexual assault for $300,000.

In 2007, Stevens was arrested for DUI in Arizona with a blood-alcohol level 2.5x the legal limit. He served 12 days of a 30-day mandatory minimum sentence.

Recently, Stevens was arrested for allegedly attacking two bouncers at a bar in Florida in 2011. And Monday night he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence involving Solo, but not charged.

A whiner, devoid of personality, lackluster...voted off cuz noone liked her, including her pro dancing partner, Maxim Chermkovsky, who reportedly slapped her during rehearsals. I guess she’s in to being roughed up. :-)

Battered syndrome sufferers will go to great lengths to cover for the perp. That’s why perps choose them. DUH. I remember reading that Josh Brolin gave Diane Lane a black eye a few years ago. Next day, she was seen smiling on camera and saying that it was “no big deal”.

Re. #7; I see that being able to play a sport well still gets a guy extra special treatment from our school and legal systems.

Post #7 doesn't even scratch the surface. Skim the article linked at post #8 if you really want some insight into how playing football well got him special treatment from prosecution for the rape accusation and other criminal charges.

Battered syndrome sufferers will go to great lengths to cover for the perp.

You're right and given the intensity of parents today who wish their girls to make it to the olympics, one has to wonder what her background was like.

Be that as it may, the fact that she chose to get married to this bearded thug (did you see his picture?) in a secret ceremony tells me that everyone close to her in her life has been warning her about this guy and in defiance to them, she has chosen to go thru with it without their participation.

Absolutely nothing good will come of this marriage and her potential career endorsements will likely suffer also..

Twenty years from now, if she's still alive, she'll write a book about her lifetime of abuse.........

When Mormon 'Prophet' and second President of the Church, Brigham Young, spoke in 1863 the following was said:

"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God is death on the spot. This will always be so."

(Journal of Discourses, Vo. 10, p. 110)

Having dated several women who endured violent abuse in their prior marriages and them sharing their childhood history with me, I would suspect that her father is the underlying cause for her bizarre behavior and her decision to not include her family and friends in her wedding plans..........

She needs help, love and prayer.........

I'm fully aware of the difficulties that mixed-race children face, particularly black/white mixed race children in the United States. We could also have a discussion regarding the difficulties of transracial adoptions.

However, you'll have to carry on an anti-miscegenation discussion without me.
